Marianne sits in the doorway of her home at 5 3/4 and contemplates the box in the mail. But she has to finish her afternoon tea first. Besides she wouldn't want to disturb the lovely redbird perched on the top of her mailbox. "Tea at 5 3/4" is the first painting in the "Itsy Bitsy House" series. I use professional artist-grade acrylics and materials. The painting is sealed with several coasts of high-gloss varnish. I have painted the panel sides black and there is a cutout in the back so you can hang it as soon as you get it. Original, signed and dated on the front and back. An EBSQ Certificate of Authenticity (COA) will accompany the painting when shipped. Thanks very much for viewing my art! I’m inspired by life, my love of animals and my own crew of two dogs and five cats who continually amuse and entertain me. All words and images ©2005 Teresa Nolen Pratt
